I thought that came across loud and clear, as a matter of fact. I was really
disappointed with Sagan's novel--though I thought the movie was excellent,
though it had a few technical flaws that really bugged me. As far as the
SETI paradigm goes, I'm enthusiastic but skeptical. It's certainly a worthy
endeavor. The scenario in Moravec's "Mind Children" excites me a hell of a
lot more.
